Explanation

Quadratic polynomials have a degree of 2.

#2

What is the degree of the polynomial 3x^4 - 2x^2 + 5?

4
Explanation

The degree is the highest power of x, which is 4 in this case.

#3

What is the degree of the polynomial 6x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 + 8?

4
Explanation

The degree is the highest power of x, which is 4 in this case.

#4

What is the solution to the equation x^2 - 9 = 0?

x = ±3
Explanation

Solving the quadratic equation gives the values of x.

#5

What is the factorization of the expression 4x^2 - 25y^2?

(2x - 5y)(2x + 5y)
Explanation

The expression is factored using the difference of squares formula.

#6

Which method is used to find the roots of a quadratic equation?

All of the above
Explanation

Quadratic equations can be solved using factoring, quadratic formula, and completing the square.

#7

Factorize the quadratic expression: 2x^2 - 8x + 6

(2x - 3)(x - 2)
Explanation

Factorizing the quadratic expression yields its factored form.

#8

If one root of the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is 3, what is the other root?

-b/a
Explanation

The sum of roots is -b/a, so the other root is -b/a - 3.

#9

What is the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation 2x^2 - 5x + 3 = 0?

5/2
Explanation

The sum of roots is -b/a, so in this case, it is 5/2.

#10

Solve the equation x^2 - 4 = 0.

x = ±2
Explanation

Solving the quadratic equation gives the values of x.

#11

Which method is used to factorize a quadratic trinomial in the form ax^2 + bx + c when 'a' is not equal to 1?

Factoring by grouping
Explanation

Grouping similar terms is used to factorize such trinomials.

#12

What is the remainder when dividing 4x^3 - 9x^2 + 5x - 7 by (x - 2)?

-3
Explanation

The remainder is found by substituting 2 into the polynomial.

#13

Which method is used to factorize a cubic polynomial?

Long division
Explanation

Long division is commonly used to factorize cubic polynomials.

#14

What is the product of the roots of the quadratic equation 4x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0?

1/2
Explanation

The product of roots is c/a, so in this case, it is 1/2.

#15

Factorize the following expression: x^3 - 8

(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4)
Explanation

The expression is factored using the difference of cubes formula.

#16

What is the remainder when dividing the polynomial 3x^4 - 7x^3 + 5x^2 - 9x + 2 by (x - 1)?

4
Explanation

The remainder is found by substituting 1 into the polynomial.

#17

Find the value of 'k' for which x + k is a factor of the polynomial 2x^2 - 5x - 3.

-1
Explanation

Setting x + k as a factor, and finding its root gives k.
